Bride/warrior

There are some of us who get all excited about being involved in “spiritual warfare” and who want to stay in that mode all the time. But there is also mention in the Bible that we are the bride of Christ, and a husband—a groom—doesn’t want his bride to be always out stomping on serpents’ heads and swinging swords; he desires regular times of intimacy with her. As it says in Ecclesiastes, there’s a time for everything.
